Sounds good. BTW, I don't mean to discount all the hard work folks did getting 
these patches out quickly. Thanks again for everyone who helped with that

Re: [DISCUSS] Testing and voting on release candidates

2022-02-04 Thread Owen Nichols
Thanks for putting together this script, Dan.  It's always humbling to discover 
ways that a user's environment can differ from the tightly-controlled 
conditions of CI.

I've noticed we've shipped quite a few releases recently with the bare minimum 
of votes.  I hope this will encourage more participation from Geode's 54 PMC 
members [1].  Even if you are not a PMC member you can still run some checks 
and offer an "advisory" vote on the release candidate.

"Ad-hoc" testing is still valuable too.  Whether you have a pet project or 
full-blown application that uses Geode (or want to start one [2]), real-world 
testing of Geode can also shake out things we never thought of.

Hi all,

I'd like to suggest something that might make voting on releases a little 
clearer and easier. I feel like we've been a bit vague about what kind of 
testing PMC members are supposed to do on a release candidate, and I see 
different folks (including myself) running different kinds of ad hoc testing.

I'd like to suggest that we should mostly focus on things that are either 
apache requirements for voting on releases or can't reasonably be testing in CI.

The apache release policy [1] says

"Before voting +1 PMC members are required to download the signed source 
code package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on 
their own platform, along with also verifying that the package meets the 
requirements of the ASF policy on releases."

I checked in a script that can do the building and signature verification 
for you [2]. My hope is that we can improve this script do to all of the 
testing that we think is important to do on a developers machine before VOTING 
+1, and free up more time to look at the commits, source files etc. and 
thinking about if this is what we should be releasing.

I'm not trying to discourage any ad hoc testing someone feels like they 
want to do, but I do want to make sure that everyone is in agreement on what we 
should be doing before voting on a release and hopefully make it so that 
everyone feels comfortable voting without wondering what they are supposed to 
test.

[DISCUSS] Testing and voting on release candidates

2022-02-04 Thread Dan Smith
Hi all,

I'd like to suggest something that might make voting on releases a little 
clearer and easier. I feel like we've been a bit vague about what kind of 
testing PMC members are supposed to do on a release candidate, and I see 
different folks (including myself) running different kinds of ad hoc testing.

I'd like to suggest that we should mostly focus on things that are either 
apache requirements for voting on releases or can't reasonably be testing in CI.

The apache release policy [1] says

"Before voting +1 PMC members are required to download the signed source code 
package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on their own 
platform, along with also verifying that the package meets the requirements of 
the ASF policy on releases."

I checked in a script that can do the building and signature verification for 
you [2]. My hope is that we can improve this script do to all of the testing 
that we think is important to do on a developers machine before VOTING +1, and 
free up more time to look at the commits, source files etc. and thinking about 
if this is what we should be releasing.

I'm not trying to discourage any ad hoc testing someone feels like they want to 
do, but I do want to make sure that everyone is in agreement on what we should 
be doing before voting on a release and hopefully make it so that everyone 
feels comfortable voting without wondering what they are supposed to test.

Re: [DRAFT] Apache Geode Board report due by Wed Feb 9th

Counting the kafka connector I'm not sure bragging about CVE patching speed is 
justified, but otherwise looks good to me!

Thank you for the feedback, please find the new draft with the added review 
comments.

## Project Activity:
We issued 9 releases this quarter which include an updated Log4j2 version
to handle the remote code execution CVE. The project had one of the quickest 
turnaround times from the Log4j2 CVE disclosure to the patch releases with the 
fix. Apache Geode Kafka Connector 1.1.0 was also released this quarter.
We have also started the effort to remove the use of deprecated components in 
the project.

1.12.8 seems to be missing from the list of releases. Also consider bragging 
about Geode’s turnaround time from CvE disclosure to patch release…only one 
other ASF project got theirs out faster than we did.
